To Be Or Not To Be
(your forever dog), that is the question?  What a prince say hello to Hamlet!  He is a young, vibrant, and very active dog. 

He loves to play tug and especially fetch.  Hamlet thoroughly enjoys toys.  He understands some commands like sit, fetch, leave it, and give a paw.  Hamlet likes to go for walks and rides very well when restrained in the car.  He gets along very well with other small dogs.  He is very friendly and outgoing. 

We are told that he will chase cats. 

He has a healthy appetite and is eating very well for us.  We are currently working on housebreaking with Hamlet, evaluating his character and preferences.  Hamlet is up to date on all of his health care. 

He was a stray turned in to a Pennsylvania shelter, adopted, but, not a good fit for the family, now in rescue vacationing near Pittsburgh.    

Best guestimate for his age is about 3-5 years old. 

Could Hamlet be the "rising star" your home is looking to cast?  We are seeking a person or family who is very active, has the time to include him in play and exercise, and is well versed in everything Yorkshire terrier for this boy.

Hamlet has paid his dues and deserves a lifelong roll with his forever family.


Hamlet is vacationing near Pittsburgh, PA with Cynthia and Ray and their Yorkies.  He won't be in rescue long. Please put in your application now.

KEEP THESE FACTS IN MIND:
1. Yorkies do not usually get along well with small children and can be injured by small children, even ones who love them. Be aware of this and keep them apart. 2. Yorkies can be very difficult (nearly impossible) to housebreak. If you are gone for more than 3 hours at a time, the dog will have to have access to wee wee pads, or need someone to stop in to let him out to potty.
3. We almost NEVER get a puppy (less than one year old) in Yorkie Rescue. If only a puppy will do, check the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America website for a recommended breeder - never buy over the Internet, or from a newspaper ad or a petstore. The heartache you save will be immeasureable.
4. There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie, so don't be misled by such a description. LEARN about the breed BEFORE you decide to adopt.
5. You will need to make arrangements to drive and meet the dog at the foster home which can be in New Jersey, western PA, Maryland,  etc. The dog's biography lists where the dog is fostering. We want you to meet the dog with your family and your dog, if you have one. This is a requirement for adoption.

WHAT IS THE ADOPTION FEE?
Adoption donations generally vary from dog to dog, it depends on the health, the age and the size of the dog.

Young Yorkies will have a higher adoption donation since they are the most highly sought after and they help to cover the costs of the older dogs who have a harder time finding a loving home. It is sad but true that people overwhelming demand very young dogs when they would be infinitely happier with a mellow adult. 

 

 ADOPTION AREA

Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, western NY, DE, MD, VA, some CT area's. If you are in the NYC area or near Long Island, there is a Yorkie Rescue closer to you. 

Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
